Regarding the lack of effective user support for Open Source software,
you might like to point out that effective user support for commercial

I think I am confused. I thought the whole point of this exercise was

I guess the argument that schools should be about education and not about

Ive been asked to provide a "further reason" and presentation to a local independent
